Why is your computer " pathetically slow"? Is it an old one? Is it overloaded to it's capacity?

It's around 8 years old and mostr of the hardware is worn out (i.e the DVD player does not run fast enough to play DVD's and the fan's are noisy) and is pretty bunged up. I am currently saving up for a new one.

My current is 1.4Ghz with 512 Gb RAM however it runs slower than my Dad's shuttle running with the same processor and 256 Gb RAM. It will also not run games such as Counter-Strike:Source which have a minimum system requirement of half what mine is.
